Abstract

The destruction/break/rupture/discontinuity of body tissue/part of body is called Wound. Chronic wounds are a large social, economic and healthcare burden in and around the world. Nutrition plays a critical role in wound healing, as it provides the necessary nutrients with wounds. Poor nutrition before or during the healing process may delay healing and impair wound strength, making the wound more prone to breakdown. Neglecting the nutritional health of an individual with a wound can compromise the entire wound management process.
